Charlotte is starting Monday under cloudy skies and temperatures around 72°F, with a muggy, foggy morning ahead. Fog should linger through about 10 a.m. before clouds break enough for a partly sunny afternoon and a high near 86°F.
Fog Clears Before Warm Afternoon
Visibility may be reduced in spots early Monday, so give yourself extra space on the morning drive. Southwest winds around 6 mph and low rain chances should let the day turn brighter by midday, with temperatures reaching the mid-80s late in the afternoon.
Storm Chances Build Tuesday
Monday night stays mostly mild near 71°F, but a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives before midnight. Tuesday is the first wetter turn, with showers possible late in the morning, thunderstorms more likely from late morning through the afternoon, a 50% rain chance and a high near 84°F.
Wettest Stretch Runs Through Midweek
Tuesday night brings an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms, and Wednesday keeps storms likely with a 70% chance of rain. The National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg says repeated storms could produce locally heavy rain and isolated flash flooding, while a strong storm could also bring damaging winds; the overall severe-weather threat is not expected to be widespread.
Late Week Keeps The Umbrella Handy
Thursday remains warm, partly sunny and unsettled, with a high near 87°F and a 50% storm chance. Friday through Sunday look like classic late-summer Charlotte, with highs in the upper 80s, sunny breaks and afternoon or evening storm chances around 40%.
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Mecklenburg County in this forecast. Monday afternoon offers the clearest window for outdoor plans, while Tuesday night and Wednesday will require more flexibility for rain delays and sudden downpours.
